Abstract: In maritime radar target detection, a good statistical representation of the backscatter is important to both minimise false detections and maximise the probability of detection. However, the radar backscatter may contain sea-spikes which can last for seconds and cause false detections. One potential solution to this problem is through the use of time-frequency […]

Abstract: Speech to text transcription is constantly improving in accuracy and becoming more wide-spread. However most speech-to-text systems require close-talking microphones to achieve sufficient audio quality. This is not always practical especially in military installations, where wireless lapel microphones pose a security risk. This talk considers speech-to-text transcription in a video conferencing environment using […]

Abstract: Polarimetric diversity has received substantial attention as a new dimension to extend the capability of imaging radars. By measuring and decomposing the electromagnetic scattering response of a scene across orthogonal polarisations, structural features of the scene may be inferred. Decomposition algorithms rely on this orthogonality to fully explore the polarisation space. In practice, […]
